LORD cADoGAN's NEW LAND BILL

LORD CARDIGAN = NEW LAND BILL.
LONDON, April 1.-The Daily News
says the. Land Bill introduced by Lord
Cadogan In the House OF Lords yester-
day evening convictS the ministry of
the grossest inconsistency, and justifies
Parnell's action during last autumn 8
session of Parliament. The first thing
that strikes the reader of Lord Cado-
gan's speech is that, inadequate as the
bill may be, it entirely dispenses with
the necessity for coercion, or rather it
would il necessity existed. Mr.. Bal
four argues that an illegal combination
prevents tenants in Ireland from pay
ing their rents. Lord Cadogan formal
ly repeats that tenants are evicted for
not paying impossible rents.
LONDON, April LIN the House of
Commons tonight closure was carried
by vote of 361 to 253, and the first
reading of the Coercion Bill was agreed
upon without discussion
LONDON, April 1.-The Standard
says: Mr.. Parnen win move his
amendment bill in the House of Com
mons tonight, and Mr.. Morley and

on the Governments action. The
ParneIlites regard Lord Codogan's land

Balfour's coercion bill, and consider
/ the eviction clauses in the former
would operate entirely to the disad-
| vantage OF tenants.

On tbe Yer-e Of starvation.

ST.. LOUIS, March 31.-A dispatch
from San Antonio, Texas. says: In
many portions of the territory tribu-
tary to this city suffering from drouth
is severe. In Atasia county people are
being robbed of the bare necessaries of
life, as all crops are failure and milk
and butter are scarce. Lean kline are
as common as fat ones once were, and
unless it rains soon people will be
brought to starvation in the northwest.
In Medina county cattle are dying so
fast that the owners cannot skin them.
In sections farther west the mortality
is not so great as yet. In many por-
tions of the country there is absolutely
no range, and would not be for some
weeks, though it should rain to night.

RegardiDg Harr1sOn's Candidacy.

CHICAGO, March 31.-It is asserted
at democratic headquarters that Carter
H. Harrison will yet head the ticket
on Tuesday. 1t is believed his mind is
in receptive condition and that it is
only necessary to bring to bear argu-
ments of sufficient strength to induce
him to once more reverse his decision
late and to run for mayor. The party
is full of divisions and there is a fac
ton at each street corner. Charlie
Kern, chairman of the Cook county
club, and his followers are said to be
laying low, waiting for Harrison to
take the nomination and then knife
him. The government building
postofice people are against
Harrison because W. c. Cloudy is,
while the custom house, on the other
hand, are supporting Harrison because
the postoff1ce crowd are against him.
| It remains to be seen whether all these
diseordant elements can be harmoniZed
